Parents need to know that The Black String is a horror movie that features psychological torment and adult themes, as well as references to mental health. Liquor store clerk, Jonathan (Frankie Muniz) finds himself dealing with increasingly bizarre and supernatural events after having unprotected sex with a girl -- Dena (Chelsea Edmundson) -- he meets through an adult phone line. The sex scene isn't explicit, but Dena is shown stripped to her bra. Strong language is casually used throughout, including variants of "f--k" and women are referred to as "sluts" and "skanks." There is some drug use when both Dena and Jonathan smoke pot independently. Several fight scenes range from minor altercations to punches being thrown -- resulting in minor, bloody injuries -- as well as knives being pulled. There is also graphic imagery after a character has been attacked in bed.
